Everything we know about the Motorola Moto G7 Play Budget Smartphone

If you look at the latest Motorola Moto G series of smartphones, it's hard to understand why an American, European or Indian consumer would buy a Moto G if there were better middle-class options. Motorola has lost a large market share due to increasing competition in these regions. In Latin American countries like Brazil, the company is still extremely good, where the different Moto E models and Moto G mid-range devices offer a unique experience price points. In 2019, we expect four new Moto G smartphones: the Motorola Moto G7, the Motorola Moto G7 Plus, the Motorola Moto G7 Power and the Motorola Moto G7 Play.

We got a glimpse into the Moto G7 Power and some of its specifications, but the Moto G7 Play also appeared online recently. There are many pictures of the Moto G7 Play in the FCC submission, but we also have some alleged own specifications to describe the device more accurately before launching. What we know about the Motorola Moto G7 Play so far:

Motorola Moto G7 Play Design

According to images submitted to the FCC, the device will be available in two colors: Black and Silver Blue (I) I'm not sure As the marketing name is.) On the back there is a single camera lens and a LED flash. Below the camera section is a fingerprint scanner. The device seems to curve slightly at the edges to facilitate holding. The device measures about 1

45 mm by 70 mm.

Here are some photos showing the rest of the Motorola Moto G7 Play. On the front we see a rather large display notch, in which a single front camera, an LED flash and a speaker are. It is difficult to determine the exact size of the display because the display is not activated in any of the pictures. However, there is a seemingly large lower frame that significantly reduces the screen-to-case ratio. On the bottom you will find the USB Type-C connector and a microphone. On the top you will find the 3.5mm headphone jack. On the left side you will find the SIM card slot (either slot with two or two SIM cards + microSD cards). On the right side you will find the volume and power buttons.

Rumors Motorola Moto G7 Play Specifications

The FCC documentation also shows some specifications of the device. One of the photos shows that the Moto G7 Play features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 mobile platform while another reveals the Moto G7 Play's 2.820 mAh (minimum) or 3000 mAh (typical) battery capacity. The Moto G7 Play's 14 nm SoC is a major upgrade from the Moto G6 Play's 28 nm SoC (the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430). However, the battery capacity is a significant disadvantage compared to the 4,000 mAh battery of the Moto G6 Play. If you want a Moto G7 with a big battery, you have to choose the Moto G7 Power.

The FCC deposit shows two SKUs for Brazil and Latin America and one for the rest of the world. There is not much to say here because you need to check that the LTE tapes listed below are compatible with your mobile operator's network.

According to our own source, we know that the device is codenamed "channel". The list of basic hardware and software specifications we have received may not reflect the final configuration of the device because the information we have is based on an early development and may not be as up-to-date as sealed information transmitted to the FCC. The specifications we have now seem almost identical to those of the Moto G6 Play, so we'll update you when things change.

At the moment, you expect 2/3 GB of RAM, 16/32 GB of memory and 5.69 -inch HD + display (the schematic shows a rather large lower bezel), a rear-facing camera with 12 MP f / 2.0 , a front-facing camera with 8 MP f / 2.2 and Android 9 Pie. Previous camera features include support for Motorola Camera app's Pro mode, selective color, time-lapse, and a new rear-panel bokeh mode.

As we get closer to the device, we'll start to have much more information available. Since the entire Motorola Moto G7 series has already gone through the FCC, we do not think we're that far from the start date. The Moto G7 Play will be the lowest model in the new Moto G7 series and should therefore be a decent smartphone for those looking for a midrange device on a budget.
